Washington, March 14.—New com mercial treaties, the order of the day In the business world, are bringing about a radical change in trade practices and should be given careful study by exporters of the Vnlted States, according to Charles E. Lyon, American trade commissioner In Lon don. "The most favored national princi ple Is advocated by some nations and deprecated by others," Lyon said. "To the American manufacturer the out ward effect of these treaties may be expressed in a changed requirement In respect of the commodity which he ex-ports, and his representatives should keep him posted as to the net effect of proposed measures on the lines that bring him profit*." Alterations In Import and export license requirements are important factors, Lyon pointed out. Tax laws are changing constantly, as the pres sure to relieve the burden on a coun try's own people may be met by put ting more pressure on the outside contributor. "New fend and drug laws sre com ing into being which would affect many Important American medical preparations," Lyon continued. "Ex change throughout the world is def initely becoming more stable. The agent abroad has a far better oppor tunity to watch these events than the manufacturer at home." Incessant Pounds t Alire Terry. If one want* to reduce, try weeping.
